Is that lame? I'm giving several workshops on Presentation Zen next week for our two PGD days. I spent 10 hours yesterday putting the slides together (geesh!); tomorrow I'll create the handout, and post that when it's finished. Slides are below.
I called it Presentation Zen, but I would bet money Garr has that copyrighted, so I'm trying to think of a different title I could use. Not that he cares what some obscure LMS in Outer Mongolia is doing with his brand, I'm sure! Should I change the "S" in presentation to a Z? Am I being completely obsessive?
Enjoy the slides. Sorry I can't make it downloadable. Some of the photos are personal permission, rather than CC, so I can't let it float around. But feel free to use the text or ideas!

Wonderful Websites with Wix
I didn't think website creation could get much easier than iWeb--and then I found Wix. To be concise: Wix rocks!!
Wix offers professionally (and beautifully) designed Flash-based templates you use to create your own website. It even hosts and publishes them..for free!
It offers hundreds of template designs, and editing those templates is a snap with their easy editing tools. All the usual tools--font, color, shapes, etc.--are available, and you can even add effects and animations. Need help? Quick tutorials are instantly available as you work.
Wix has its own (somewhat limited) photo library, or easily connects to Flickr.
They make their money with the "freemium" concept: basic access is free, users pay more to upgrade to pro versions. For example, $4.95/month buys you your own domain name.
I've been thinking of putting together a website for my documentary workshops; finding Wix inspires me to move ahead with that, because they've removed all the usual frustrations out of website design. Much as I love iWeb, given my limited skills, I can still only create a fairly basic site. Wix allows amateurs to create sites the pros would be proud of.
